Clearly not much progress of late – in large part because, shortly after launching this initiative, I went off on holiday. Still there and still connected of course, but have found it difficult to work up the requisite impetus.
Thanks to those who have already signed up to the Barcamp and/or posted comments to the blog. But we do need more people to put their heads above the parapet, to express their views and hopefully to participate in the Barcamp.
I will be working on this on my return to normality, but it’s not all up to me folks; that won’t work. This is a group effort. Please do contact those who you know to have an interest in the agenda but who have not yet made themselves known on this blog. Check the Barcamp page and if you’re not already listed as a participant sign up to participate (if you can) via the comments. And please do comment on any of the posts so we get a better feel for divergent opinions on the issues.
Hi Nick,
I won’t be physically at Barcamp. Not because I’m not a supporter – I certainly am – but a) I have real life commitments and b)I’m not sure what I could contribute. I haven’t the level of technical knowledge to make concrete proposals and what I want – open updated statute and open current and archive case law – isn’t going to be a surprise to anyone. Statute is some way on its way, thankfully, but case law, the wonderful Bailii apart, isn’t. It needs to be.
Aside from that, I am happy to adopt and adapt NL to any tag, open format, or semantic scheme that may emerge.
NL – Sorry you will not able to be there. Please do continue to contribute via this blog before and after the event. All presentations will be posted or linked to from here. As one of the most active contributors to the current free legal web you do have a lot to contribute!
